文摘
- •
Voluntary reaction times are slower and more variable than neural noise explains
- •
Such procrastination is theorized to reflect a neural race selecting each action
- •
Electrically disrupting medial frontal cortex reverses procrastination
- •
A cardinal prediction of race models of action in the brain is thereby confirmed
